Feridun Zaimoglu

In his new book, Feridun Zaimoglu takes us on the unforgettable journey of a grieving son to his father's grave. SON WITHOUT A FATHER tells the stirring, haunting story of a grieving son, of family solidarity, of deceptive memories, and of a journey to a foreign country - to visit his mother and his dead father. In his new novel, Feridun Zaimoglu asks how we remember those who are closest to us and yet sometimes seem strangely alien to us, who love and shape us, whom we care for - and whom we must eventually let go despite everything. SON WITHOUT A FATHER was nominated for the German Book Prize 2025.
